Tlie'fffo l*oliclc*J? There are two policies in the Democratic party of the State, each of which seems to have its adherents. Tho one known as the Gary policy is pretty well set forth in lite publish ed interview in the News and Courier With this policy we have never sympathized in word or actiou, be cause it ignores the colored man. The absurdity and inconsistency, of such an idea is apparent upon its face. It matters not how ungrateful the colored people may be of the benefits of Democratic government, no mat ter bow persistently in their blind folly they may work and vote, against us we should never be inconsistent. The Democratic party is the people's party, and as such there can bo? no distinctions under it as to race or color. To make such distinctions would be to stultify ourselves as a party, and prove unfaithful to our promises Gen. Gary deserves credit for a great many things, lie is a man of natural force and ability and lime has proven that many of his measures s a legislator, although unpopular at the time, have been wise?but we can never endorse his peculiar policy, or his political views. The other policy is erroneously styled the Hampton policy, but it is more properly the Kershaw or Unt ier policy, having been inaugurated by these gentlemen in the campaign of 1870, belore Hampton came out again into public life. This policy \<, as we have indicated above, one of liberality and conserva tim. J?, recognizes the political ami civil rights of the colored man, and makes no distinctions of this char acter against him on Account of color. We have advocated this policy since 3870, and it is the same policy which Hampton's name gave power and success to in 1K7(>, and which we are satisfied is the true policy of the Democratic party, despite. Gen. Gary's talk to the contrary, ami despite too the apparent indifference and actual ingratitude of a great majority of the colored people. It is our duty to do right, no matter what others do. Inconsistency is a* dis reputable in parties us in individuals. -?WK? . . . ? Gary und Hampton. To use Gen Gary's own expression we hate to see the ''dirty linen of the party washed in public," but we don't think Gen. Gary's reply to Col. Ilaskoll will be satisfactory to tho public. It is true that he reit terates his charges against Hampton, and denies all that is said about him, self but he docs it through a reporter, and not over his own signature as Col. Haskell demands. His excuse is that his quarrel is not with Haskell, who, he says, is seeking prominence which he is not disposed to give him. The main question is, who sold out Tilden? Hampton and Gary mutual ly accuse t ach other of it. Haskell olFers to prove that Hampton is inno cent, and that Gary ia the guilty one, JNow, if Gen. Gary was very j anxious for the truth to appear, he ought not to stand on trifles, hut put himself in the position that the in vestigation which he confesses he desires may come. We regret to see any thing of this personal character in print, and we would not publish it were it not for the fact that it has gone so far that there is no ret real, and it seems best now that the rvhole truth should ap pear. If Southern leaders have sohl out Tilden for Hayes, in order to get South Carolina and other Southern Sintes in Democratic hand4, let all dodging cense, and the truth be known. There need however ho n o bitterness in the investigation. Por Bonalilics accomplish no good in tho ?earch aller truth. Our senlimcntH on t! i- It. ? <> 'nPv ? yprj -r-' in ! ? .-uiii ;hu , x HiiotuUiiit . \ W i- deprecato the. publication lot' such articles, Smith Carolina is in I no condition lor her prominent eons lo quarrel among themselves, and, whatever may ho the provocation, patriots should bury their private grievances and work harmoniously lor the good <?!* the .-'tale. South Ctuolitut needs h. e Gilrys and her Haskells. In the prcsenco ol a com moii enemy, waiting to plunder and devastate the State, all bickerings and lends should he hushed and ?' t lled. C rimination and recrimination widens the breach and gives the poli tical robbers hopes of more yoars of stealing fiom an impoverished people." thtr Fire I>ei>arlHnonl. There is hardly an ytbing more im portant to a growing town limn effici ent lire department, and our citizens need no hi cor proof of it than the saving of property which has already been accomplished, even by our poor ly equipped firemen. The young men forming our fire companies have much less at stake than the property holders, and yet i they devote themselves with* public j spirited zeal lo this noble cause. All they a.-l; is aid and encourage ment from the citizcus. They are willing lo work, but they claim the means to work with. The engine of the Young Americas is not adequate to the occasion. The)* need a new engine and it is the duty, as weil as the interest of the proporty holders, to give it to them. Resides, the Hook and Ladder Company is far, from being properly equipped. Much is needed lo per fee! both of these organizations and render them lit for any emergency*. Rut in addition to equipment, thorough organization is needed. The department must be strictly discip lined, in oidcr thai there should be no disorder I ut complete unity of action and obedience to orders at fires. Let our citizens take a pride in their firemen, and our Town Council do all it can to make the lire depart ment ofOiangeburg as efficient as any Other in the State. Kill or Ctrr? V Jt appears from the diversity ol opinion expresstd by our lea lers that, there is no fixed policy adopted for tho .coming campaign. Gen. Gary belches forth his "staighloutism*'' Gov. Hampton .-till sings his soujs ol peace and reconciliation; and now the Keics tun? L'ou ier conies out. with its "kill or cure" policy, an I wo fear its editorials on this subject will throw the iuI into the tire. In last December during the ses sion o; the Legislature it advocated the passage of a Registration law with an educational qualification attach ed which would confine the voting to those who can read and write, and place us in tho same condition ;>.s Massachusetts, Connecticut and other Northern Republican State-1 which allow none to vote who cannot "read the constitution anil write his name." The legislature adjourns! last Christmas without taking any action upon the suggestion of our Charles ton cotcmporaty; and now, in view of the extra Hission, the advice upon this matter is renewed by the same paper in another < ditorial. The orgumenl of the N< on/ C<o//-/<vis,in subdance, that the copi ed people cannot be persuaded to be come und remain Democrats, and that revolutionary meas'irei arc con trary to the moral sense of the c on muuity;lhat mi educational qualifica tion would not he levelled at race bill would act upon white and black alike, and would in addition be a strong incentive for the acquisili m ot knowledge for which nil would h ive equal chance-; and that we could hardly go wu ng in following in the footsteps of the Northern Republican Slates. Such is the position ofourcoteni porary which we have stattd hriefl) and without comment. Whether the Democratic Legislature will take any action in the mailer, or puss it by uo noticed as In-fore, remains to be seen. Tlic hiate ft range.

The following extract from an edi torial of the Columbia ll*gistcr shows the jeo pnrdy in which the dissentions (if political loaders in Now ? ork have placed the National i'omo cracy : "If the liepublican Legislature ch ocecs to slect^the Picsidcntinl elec tor* they have the lull constitutional right to do BO, and every law abiding citizen must rnspeel that plain right. The Constitution sty.* in unequivocal words: 'Euch Slate shall appoint, in such in tinner as the Legislature :lure of may din. ct, a number of electora eijual to the whole number of Sena tors and Representatives to which the Slate may he entitled in Con gress.' The.-e words and the ineanin? thereof cannot be disputed. And if the Legislature ol New York choose to direct that th^ manner shall be by the joiut vote of the two Houses of the Assembly, the question L hope lessly gone beyond a shadow) of a chance of resistance or remedy." The only hope is that the Legisla ture in the great and eulightcned State of New Yotk will not dare to depart from an established custom, aud in defiance, of I he people, tika from them a right ahich they have so long enjoyed.

Burke and Hearsy, two New Oi lcans editors went nut one day last week and \ amused themselves tiring at each other.

Editor Tiim s : I was .-trink with the truth and justice of what your correspondent Pay sun said about these animals. In my opinion they are uot only I in the majority of casei useless, bill i a burden and nuisance. Nine out of every U-u could be dispensed with. They eat as much as a man,and thus consume what could sustain human life, and, besides, they arc often a terror to harmless travellers on tho public highways.

Editor 1 rmii/eburj Times: On last week some of the Charles ton merchants .-.r::i a p inted circular to Orangeburg, stating (herein that the fare on S. C, U.

It now appears from the K. ii < ii cu'nrs that the round trip is ?'2 Id, on y 'JO cents less than from Colum bia. This change aud consequent disappointment has kept many from going to the "City by ihe Sea" from here. EuiSTO. As wo go to press snow linked are falling fast. Immigration. /Ctittor Orangeburg Times: One <>f the first nets of the Demo crats when they got into power should have been the establishment of an Immigration Bureau. No greater benefit both politically and agriculturally could accrue to the State, than from an influx of foreign immigrants. I am satisfied that the tiny will come when we will wee our error on this point. I have seen several copies of the State Builder, a new paper published in Spurtauburg iu the inter :st of Immigration by Mr. Tilman K. Gains, and good must re.-iult from it. The press don't agi late this (pie9tiou enough. It In too important a matter to allow-to stag nate. While thousands of immigrants aro daily passing through New York to build up the West, why can't some of the tide be diverted to poor South Carolina. We can do it if we will.
